WWE Adds 3 New PPVs to the 2010 Schedule

[Hammy]

We reported several days ago that WWE recently issued a new survey asking fans what PPV event themes they would like to see it the future, and one of them was a Money in the Bank PPV concept which would see the show headlined by a Money in the Bank Ladder match as WWE runs at Wrestlemania every year.

It appears as if the Money in the Bank PPV is now official, as WWE is advertising it, along with 2 other new PPV concepts to its 2010 PPV schedule. They are as follows:

-WWE Wild Card will take place on May 23rd.

-WWE Fatal Four Way will take place on June 20th.

-WWE Money in the Bank will take place on July 18th.

It has yet to be confirmed whether or not WWE will be booking or scrapping the Money in the Bank Ladder Match for this year's Wrestlemania.

Maybe this way they can make Jericho/Edge into a Ladder Match at Mainia and not go overboard with 2 ladder matches in 1 night.

True, surely the Money in the Bank PPV means there won't be a match at this years Wrestlemania, although that does beg the question of how they will get a lot of the stars on the PPV, or will the pre-show Battle Royal just be a lot more star studded than normal.

Also how lazy is Fatal 4 Way as a PPV name.

Fatal 4 way - the worst matches WWE does

Someone (cough Triple H cough) will just sit in the corner all match and a blow that wouldn't get a 1 count know keeps people down for 20 mins

Worse, camera never knows where to be and u get long sequences where u ask 'where is he?'

Smacks of a cynical attempt to just get more people on the card

They should have kept MITB at Wrestlemania IMO. It seemed to fit well in that atmosphere, not so sure about it getting a PPV of its own....

Perhaps they went with 'Fatal 4 Way' because 'WWE Singles Match' wasn't catchy enough.

Does that make Backlash the only PPV that's not RR, WM or Summerslam to survive this PPV overhaul thing they've done??

July - Money in the Bank
August - SummerSlam
September - Night of Champions
October - Hell in a Cell, Bragging Rights 
November - TBA
December - TLC: Tables, Ladders & Chairs

This makes me quite sad - u got attached to certain ppv's...

Though thank god Backlash and Judgement Day have gone - never saw one that wasn't just a three hour Raw...

...okay Judgement Day 2000 was good but that's it

Just read on pwtorch that Wild Card has now been changed to Over The Limit.

Seems eerily similiar to an old ppv name....

And just as I say it seems eerily similiar to an old PPV name, they put a wrestler on the poster who makes it even more familiar.

Over The Limit starring Edge

In the year that Bret Hart returns as well...

I notice the whole image of speeding while being drunk as well, yet "One Night Stand"...

[Izzy]

hmm...that ppv name is a bit...tasteless...

TBH I wouldn't have given it a second thought without reading this thread.

You weren't a fan at the time though so maybe that's why it doesn't strike you the same.
